[0048] In the above embodiment, when the time domain resource of the PUCCH overlaps with the first period of DRX, the terminal may postpone sending the HARQ-ACK, so that the terminal may reasonably achieve energy saving when the network device is in the energy saving state.

[0138] Figure 2a is an interactive diagram of a communication processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2a, the present disclosure embodiment relates to a communication processing method, the method comprising:

[0139] In step S2101 , the network device 102 sends configuration information to the terminal 101 .

[0140] In some embodiments, the configuration information may include first configuration information for configuring DRX and / or DTX of the carrier, wherein the DTX and / or DRX includes a first period and / or a second period.

[0141] Optionally, during the first period, the network device 102 is in an inactive state on the corresponding carrier. The network device 102 may not send at least some downlink information during the first period of DTX, such as not sending SPS PDSCH; the network device 102 may not receive at least some uplink information during the first period of DRX, such as not receiving a scheduling request (SR), a configured grant PUSCH (CG-PUSCH), or part of the PUCCH. The first period may also be referred to as an inactive period.

[0142] Optionally, during the second period, the network device 102 is in an active state on the corresponding carrier. The network device 102 can normally send downlink information during the second period of DTX; the network device 102 can normally receive uplink information during the second period of DRX. The second period can also be referred to as an active period.

[0143] In one example, the configuration information may configure aperiodic DTX and / or DRX. The network device 102 may then dynamically indicate time domain parameters for the first period or the second period of the aperiodic DTX and / or DRX.

[0144] In another example, the configuration information may configure a periodic DTX pattern (DTX on-off pattern) and / or a carrier DRX pattern (DRX on-off pattern). For example, the network device 102 may configure a periodic DTX pattern and / or a carrier DRX pattern for one or more carriers of the UE through UE-specific signaling.

[0145] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2c, a DTX period may include a DTX working period (on duration or on period) and a DTX sleep period (off duration or off period). During the DTX on period, the network device 102 sends downlink information normally, and the terminal 101 also needs to monitor the downlink information normally; during the DTX off period, the network device 102 does not send at least part of the downlink information to achieve energy saving of the network device. The network device 102 can configure at least one of the following time domain parameters of the DTX mode: period, time domain offset, duration of the on period, and duration of the off period. Among them, the first period of DTX includes the DTX off period, and the second period includes the DTX on period.

[0146] Optionally, a DRX cycle may include a DRX working period (on duration or on period) and a DRX sleep period (off duration or off period). During the DRX on period, the network device 102 receives uplink information normally, and the terminal 101 also needs to send uplink information normally; during the DRX off period, the network device 102 does not receive at least part of the uplink information to achieve energy saving of the network device. The network device 102 can configure at least one of the following time domain parameters of the DRX mode: cycle, time domain offset, duration of the on period, and duration of the off period. Among them, the first DRX period includes the DRX off period, and the second period includes the DRX on period.

[0147] Optionally, the behavior of network device 102 during DTX and / or DRX may affect the receiving behavior of terminal 101. For example, terminal 101 may not receive some downlink channels during the first period of DTX to achieve terminal energy conservation. For another example, terminal 101 may suspend or not transmit some uplink channels during the first period of DRX to achieve terminal energy conservation.

[0148] In some examples, network device 102 can dynamically activate or deactivate DTX and / or DRX for any carrier using signaling. DTX / DRX is initiated only after network device 102 activates DTX or DRX on a carrier for terminal 101. DTX / DRX is deactivated only after network device 102 deactivates DTX or DRX on a carrier for terminal 101.

[0149] In some embodiments, the configuration information may include second configuration information for configuring SPS PDSCH time-frequency resources.

[0150] Optionally, a time interval may be semi-statically configured in the second configuration information, where the time interval indicates the interval between the time domain unit where the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the SPS PDSCH is located and the time domain unit where the SPS PDSCH is located. The time domain unit illustrated in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be milliseconds (ms), slots, half slots, symbols, etc. For ease of description, the embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated using a time domain unit as an example.

[0151] Optionally, the network device 102 may indicate the index of the PUCCH resource used to transmit HARQ-ACK through activation downlink control information (DCI) of the SPS PDSCH.

[0152] It is worth noting that in the DTX scenario, the network device 102 may not send the SPS PDSCH, and the terminal 101 needs to determine whether the corresponding HARQ-ACK information should be sent. For example, the terminal 101 may feedback negative feedback information (NACK), or refer to the description of the following embodiments.

[0153] In some embodiments, the configuration information may include third configuration information for configuring PUCCH time-frequency resources, such as configuring a carrier for transmitting the PUCCH and / or a PUCCH carrier switching pattern.

[0154] Optionally, for one or more carriers in a PUCCH carrier group (PUCCH cell group), the network device 102 may configure PUCCH resources on one of the carriers. All uplink control information (UCI) corresponding to the PUCCH carrier group, such as HARQ-ACK, SR, or channel state information (CSI), may be transmitted on the carrier configured with PUCCH resources.

[0155] Optionally, the network device 102 may configure PUCCH cell switching to configure PUCCH resources on two carriers in a PUCCH carrier group. The network device 102 may also configure a periodic PUCCH cell switch pattern for the terminal 101 to indicate which carrier to use for PUCCH transmission in each time domain unit.

[0156] Optionally, the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the SPS PDSCH is transmitted via the PUCCH. PUCCH resources, such as the HARQ-ACK resources of the SPS PDSCH, may conflict with downlink resources, reference signal (such as synchronization signal block SSB) resources, or control resource set (control resource set coreset, CORESET 0) resources configured by the network device 102. In the event of a conflict, the HARQ-ACK information of the SPS PDSCH cannot be transmitted, and it may be necessary to postpone the transmission of the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH (i.e., SPS PDSCH HARQ-ACK deferral or SPS-HARQ-Deferral).

[0157] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives part or all of the configuration information of network device 102 .

[0158] Step S2102 : The time domain resource of the PUCCH overlaps with the first DRX period of the first carrier, and the terminal 101 determines a second time domain unit following the first time domain unit.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first carrier is the carrier where the PUCCH is located, that is, the carrier where the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the SPS PDSCH transmitted via the PUCCH is located. For example, the first carrier is used to transmit the original PUCCH corresponding to the HARQ-ACK. When the time domain resources of the original PUCCH overlap with the first DRX period of the first carrier, the terminal 101 needs to determine the second time domain unit.

[0160] Optionally, in combination with the description of the foregoing embodiment, the network device does not receive at least part of the uplink information on the first carrier during the first period of DRX of the first carrier. Therefore, when the time domain resources of the PUCCH overlap with the first period, if the terminal 101 normally transmits the PUCCH, the network device 102 may not receive the entire PUCCH.

[0161] In some embodiments, when the time domain resources of the PUCCH overlap with the first period of DRX of the first carrier, the terminal 101 may postpone sending the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the SPS PDSCH.

[0162] Optionally, the first time domain unit is a time domain unit used for transmitting the PUCCH before the postponement. Referring to the description of the above embodiment, the first time domain unit can be determined by a time interval configured or indicated by the network device 102.

[0163] Optionally, the first time domain unit may be a time slot slotN, where N is an integer.

[0164] In some embodiments, the second time domain unit is the earliest time domain unit after the first time domain unit that does not overlap with the first DRX period of the second carrier, and the second carrier is the same as or different from the first carrier.

[0165] Optionally, the terminal 101 may search for a suitable uplink resource in each time domain unit in sequence, starting from the first time domain unit, with a single time domain unit as the granularity. If a suitable uplink resource exists in the second time domain unit, HARQ-ACK can be transmitted. The second time domain unit does not overlap with the first period of DRX of the second carrier, and the second time domain unit must be within the maximum allowable delay range.

[0166] Optionally, the second time domain unit also needs to meet other conditions, such as not overlapping with downlink resources or downlink transmissions on the second carrier. The downlink resources may include resources semi-statically configured by the network or dynamically indicated as downlink, and the downlink transmission may include SSB or PDCCH channels, etc.

[0167] Optionally, the maximum operational deferral range may be network device 102 configured or protocol defined.

[0168] Optionally, the second time domain unit may be a time slot (N+n), where n is an integer.

[0169] In one example, the interval between the second time domain unit and the first time domain unit is less than or equal to a first value, where the first value is a maximum value corresponding to a first postponement range defined by a protocol or configured by a network.

[0170] Optionally, the first deferral range is used to indicate a deferral range between a time domain unit of the deferred HARQ-ACK and a time domain unit of the original HARQ-ACK.

[0171] In another example, the interval between the second time domain unit and the time domain unit where the SPS PDSCH is located is less than or equal to a second value, and the second value is a maximum value corresponding to a second deferral range defined by a protocol or configured by a network.

[0172] Optionally, the second postponement range is used to indicate a postponement range between a time domain unit of the postponed HARQ-ACK and a time domain unit where its corresponding SPS PDSCH is located.

[0173] In some embodiments, the second carrier is the first carrier, that is, the second carrier is the same as the first carrier and is the carrier where the PUCCH is located. Optionally, the second time domain unit determined by the terminal 101 cannot overlap with the first period of DRX of the first carrier.

[0174] Optionally, this embodiment may be applicable to a scenario in which the network device 102 configures PUCCH resources on one carrier in a PUCCH carrier group.

[0175] In one example, the first time domain unit is slot2, and the terminal 101 searches for uplink resources on each time slot one by one according to the time slot granularity, slot3, slot4..., etc. Assuming that there is a suitable uplink resource in the second time domain unit slot5 and it does not overlap with the first time period of DRX of the first carrier, the terminal 101 can postpone the HARQ-ACK originally required to be sent in slot2 to slot5, and the interval between slot2 and slot5 is less than or equal to the first postponement range.

[0176] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 is configured with a PUCCH carrier switching pattern, the second carrier is a carrier determined according to the PUCCH carrier switching pattern and used to transmit the PUCCH in the second time domain unit.

[0177] Optionally, in conjunction with the description of the preceding embodiment, the PUCCH carrier switching pattern is used to configure the carrier index used for PUCCH transmission in different time domain units. Terminal 101 may determine the corresponding carrier based on the carrier index. Network device 102 may configure PUCCH resources on two carriers in the PUCCH carrier group, and the PUCCH resources on the two carriers may be different.

[0178] Optionally, the network device 102 may configure a periodic PUCCH carrier switching pattern to indicate a carrier corresponding to each time domain unit for transmitting the PUCCH.

[0179] Optionally, the second carrier is used to distinguish from the first carrier in name, but does not mean that the second carrier is necessarily different from the first carrier.

[0180] In one example, the PUCCH carrier switching pattern indicates that PUCCH resources are configured on cell 1 and cell 2. Taking the time domain unit as a time slot, assume that slot 1 corresponds to the first carrier, i.e., terminal 101 needs to transmit PUCCH on cell 1, slot 2 corresponds to cell 2, slot 3 corresponds to cell 2, and so on. If the period is T, then slot (1 + T) corresponds to cell 1, slot (2 + T) corresponds to cell 2, slot (3 + T) corresponds to cell 2, and so on. Optionally, T can be one radio frame. Optionally, the corresponding PUCCH resources configured on cell 1 and cell 2 can be different.

[0181] In this example, when the terminal 101 determines the uplink resources of each time slot according to the time slot granularity, it is necessary to determine the carrier corresponding to each time slot to ensure that the selected time slot does not overlap with the first period of DRX on the cell corresponding to the time slot. The cell corresponding to the time slot is determined according to the PUCCH carrier switching pattern.

[0182] For example, if the first time domain unit is slot1 and the first carrier is cell1, and if slot1 overlaps with the first DRX period of cell1, the HARQ-ACK for the SPS PDSCH that should have been sent in slot1 using the PUCCH corresponding to cell1 needs to be postponed. During the slot-based postponement process, terminal 101 determines that the second time domain unit is slot3 and the second carrier is cell2, and that slot3 cannot overlap with the first DRX period of cell2, then terminal 101 can postpone sending the HARQ-ACK corresponding to slot1 in slot3, such as sending the HARQ-ACK in slot3 using the PUCCH corresponding to cell2.

[0183] Step S2103: Terminal 101 sends HARQ-ACK to network device 102 in the second time domain unit.

[0184] Optionally, in combination with the description of the foregoing embodiment, the terminal 101 uses the sps-HARQ-Deferral method to postpone sending HARQ-ACK.

[0185] In some embodiments, the network device 102 receives the HARQ-ACK at or after the second time domain unit.

[0275] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication processing method for determining a manner in which a UE performs SPS HARQ-ACK deferral when cell DRX / DTX is configured.

[0276] This embodiment may include examples in the following two aspects:

[0277] First aspect:

[0278] For the HARQ-ACK information of SPS PDSCH, if the SPS PDSCH is configured with sps-HARQ-Deferral and cell DRX is configured on the carrier where the SPS PDSCH HARQ-ACK information is transmitted:

[0279] Example 1:

[0280] On the carrier where the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH is located, if the PUCCH resource where the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH is located overlaps with the cell DRX non-active period of the carrier, the transmission of the HARQ-ACK is postponed.

[0281] Optionally, the non-active period corresponds to the first period in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0282] Example 2:

[0283] With slot as the granularity, the system searches backward for suitable PUCCH resources for transmitting HARQ-ACK within the maximum postponement range configured by higher-layer signaling. The PUCCH resources cannot overlap with the cell DRX non-active period.

[0284] Example 3:

[0285] If a periodic PUCCH cell switch pattern is configured, the terminal needs to determine the cell (i.e., carrier) for PUCCH transmission corresponding to each slot based on the PUCCH cell switch pattern. Therefore, when the UE determines the deferred PUCCH resource for transmitting the HARQ-ACK, the cell where the PUCCH resource is located is determined based on the PUCCH cell switch pattern and cannot overlap with the cell DRX non-active period configured on the cell.

[0286] Second aspect:

[0287] For SPS PDSCH, if sps-HARQ-Deferral is configured for the SPS PDSCH and cell DTX is configured on the carrier on which the SPS PDSCH is transmitted:

[0288] Example 4:

[0289] On the carrier where the SPS PDSCH is located, if the resources where the SPS PDSCH is located overlap with the cell DTX non-active period of the carrier, the HARQ-ACK transmission of the SPS PDSCH will not be deferred. Since the SPS PDSCH is empty, if the PUCCH resources where the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH is located overlap with the downlink resources or the cell DRX non-active period, the HARQ-ACK of the SPS PDSCH will not be transmitted and there is no need to deferred transmission.

For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods.
